Ativismo judicial na concretização dos objetivos fundamentais da república

Abstract

Judicial activism is on the agenda of the most controversial and recurring themes of the Brazilian Judiciary, mainly in matters of Constitutional Law. The phenomenon originated in the North American courts gains strength with the performance of the Supreme Federal Court, which has been constitutionally guarded and an ancient keeper of republican principles. Thus, the present work seeks to study theoretical possibilities about judicial activism to contribute to the realization of the fundamental objectives of the Republic, listed in art. 3rd of the constitutional text, and that guide a joint action of the three Powers in view of the realization of the social, economic and political commitments established there.
